Ahsan Rao Seriously..? Just rip it off youtube, convert it to an mp3, download it to your phone and set it as your ringtone. It’s 2019, not that hard to do anymore...
If you were ever going to have a one hit wonder this has to be it. It’s the perfect three minute single. Once you’ve produced this you can never surpass it. It’s the citizen Kane of pop music.
And sadly about 5 years too early to ride the Britpop invasion into the US. while this stuff was on the fringes of pop in the UK in 88, the americans had no idea what to make of it. It would have sounded at once both anachronistic and futuristic to them. If they had launched in the US after about 93 they would have been chart killers. Alas, I think the label spent too much trying to promote a band in the US that the US market wasnt ready for and it broke the band.
For those who don’t know, this was the La’s one and only album. Around the time of 1994, the band completely vanished from the music scene and never properly resurfaced afterwards. Its sad to see a band with so much potential simply dissapear for reasons unknown, especially when you know they could have been one of the greats.
99.999% of the time its just bad management who didnt know how to capitalize on that 15 minutes of fame and turn it into something sustained. There are so many examples of great bands who actually either did or could have had long careers of great songs, but idiotic management meant the world only ever got to see a single songs brief but brilliant day in the sun. And more often than not , the crushing disapointment of not maintaining that hit streak just crushes a bands morale and it dies.
Those of us that knew the scene in Liverpool know the reason why the la's never had a second album... You're right that they could have been one of the greats but eventually promoters, labels, venues and fans get tired of no shows and sub par live performances. Addiction is an awful thing and I hope he's clean and healthy now but they missed the boat to fame unfortunately. At least we will always have this perfect pop song.
@@Hagg-o-tron I hadn't realised that. Certainly, I'm struck by how unhealthy one of the band members looks in this video. I never saw this video at the time but got the album about the time it came out and loved it. What a terrible waste of talent.
This song is acoustic perfection, it encapsulates the 60’s Mersey beat with the melancholy vibes of the late 80’s. The reason it is so iconic is that you can hear the heart felt strain in the singers voice, yearning, loss and hope all at the same time. Is it a song about an elusive, unobtainable love or in is in in fact about chasing the dragon that is heroin? Who knows? All I do know is that it just fucking rocks!
There she goes There she goes again Racing through my brain And I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she blows There she blows again Pulsing through my vein And I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she goes There she goes again She calls my name, pulls my train No one else could heal my pain But I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she goes There she goes again Chasing down my lane And I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she goes There she goes There she goes
@@69Kevrod2012 wouldn't use Wikipedia as a good reference.A lot of the stuff on there can be altered by people. But I this case your probably right however I believe it was more about a girl than heroin, but like with many song, the lyrics tend to have a deeper, darker meaning
It is called happy sad, happily unhappy. It is when you have reached a point of sadness that you are happy about your sadness. It's a mature state of mind. Always love this feeling.
The bittersweetness of this song touches your soul... it's strikingly simple yet so ineffably _haunting_ and that lilting guitar riff is like a lost lover's caress. A crystalline serenade of heady carefree days that seemed to last forever.
I miss Lee Mavers, if he only could record himself singing some of his tunes i would be really glad. I miss this kind of genuine musicians and i miss my childhood listening to The La’s, god bless Lee Mavers❤ greetings from Mexico🇲🇽
This song is so great because it doesn't seem to have verses and chorus, every part is a singalong chorus. And John Powers drifting backing vocals push it up another level.
Great point. Just shows you can write a fantastic pop song and not conform to the same strict set of pop rules. I wish pop singers and producers today would do the same.
For me, this is an absolute happy song. It plays in Gilmore Girls which is my comfort tv-show and it gives me this feeling of pure cozyness. I'm gonna go watch Gilmore Girls now☺
Great song. great guys. Drank with them on several occasions in the Albert on Lark Lane in the mid 0's Worked for Lee a couple of years ago doing a bit of plastering. Really nice guy in real life. Proper scouser, and a gentelman. John Powers is also a fantastic singer and really nice bloke. Love these guys.
Everything about this song, playing and video is perfect. The dreamy video with the mysterious girl fading in and out; the drummer so precise and clear; the band's physical movements; the guitar-playing, Mavers' diction; the repetitive melody - I can listen to this over and over again .... (It reminds me of the first girl I ever loved 60 years ago!)
After two miscarriages my wife gave birth to our two little twins girls only four days ago. Since they were premature (32 weeks of pregnancy), it was necessary to put them immediately under full-time assistance for newborns, and they shall remain there for more than one month. Although there is a very competent team with them, I can't help but feeling a mix of sorrow, hope, relief, and pain while watching them struggle for their lives. To be born and to die shares the same dwell against odds, and you never know what will be the result. While they are being fed and sleep, I try to cuddle and sing a lullaby. This song happened to appear on TH-cam's suggestion. The lyrics express their situation because there are several cables to nurture them through their veins, mouth, and nose. In the meantime, I'm constantly praying for their speedy recovery and growth. What is left for me as their father is to image them running down through the corridor once they're older enough, and all of this will be a beacon of a shade memory fading away in my mind.
My brother was born when my mum was only 7mths pregnant,he was less than 2lb,hes all grown up and is the father to two sets off twins,both sets are boys,one set identical the other set are so different to each other,they too had the same fight my brother had when he came into the world,these little premature babies are stronger than we can ever imagine,enjoy them at every stage off their lives as they grow up so fast,oh btw I was 18 when my brother was born,he was a surprise,my mum didn’t find out until she was 5mths pregnant,he was in a hurry to be born so was a big surprise to us all,good luck to you and your little girls x❤️❤️x
@@mangoblaze Much better, Mango! The girls have now completed 18 months and are fully healthy and developing according to their corrected age (16 months). The trouble now is the sleep deprivation that is affecting me and my wife, but that is the best outcome we could have in our lives since it means they are here with both of us!
Who’s listening to this in 2024? On the 6th of July? Sitting near a water feature? Thinking about horse hair? While eating a punnet of crab meat? Thank you
I was probably one of the first people to hear this song. I was in a band in the late 80s and one night after a gig we were staying in Lancaster Gate Hotel in London when these guys came in. We got chatting and went upstairs to their room for a smoke and drink and they played us their demo. I remember sitting on the floor and Lee was standing on his bed, this song came on and my jaw dropped. They were nice fellas, younger than us, but I knew I'd heard something special. You don't believe me? Fine. My band toured with The Ramones and Iggy Pop. We were called The Seers and although we never made it big we had a good crack at it. th-cam.com/video/HT99Bx-gFa0/w-d-xo.html
@@nickchow3706 no, its probably not, do a bit more research buddy ;) non of the band had even tried heroin when this song was written, its an urban myth.
The year was 1998. I was only 6. I remember sitting in the backseat, of mum and dad's Renault Savannah, it was so warm that summer. It was a long drive down to Cornwall, from Bradford, but I remember it like it was yesterday. This song was on the radio. Memories.
Es una de las cinco canciones perfectas según la ciencia, los acordes mueven los estados de ánimo de la felicidad a la nostalgia. Es ciencia, pero parece magia.
My best friend worked for a while with the drummer (He's a rope access worker these days). He said this song is his pension as he gets a nice royalties cheque through the door every month just from this one song.
1990 I was 17 with lots of dreams in my drawer .... I heard this song on telly in Italy today and my heart raced!!!! So many great memories from Italy to England ..this song used to be played a lot In 1997 On The radio What a great journey my life has been so far.. 47 now Love you all godbless Follow your dreams ..but mostly follow your instinct ..your heart and you’ll be fine Trust me!!! ❤️
I've been listening to this good song for a long time, does anyone else agree with me in 2024? /Llevo buen tiempo escuchando este buen tema, ¿alguien más coincide conmigo en este 2024?
I like Lee Mavers face expression into the camera at 0:15 …… it’s like ‘I’ve created one of the best songs of all time , I’m gonna enjoy this 3.5 minutes of bliss’ …. Lol
This song is up there with 'Love will tear us apart'. A song that other top bands wish they'd written and recorded. Doesn't matter that the band, in its various line ups, didn't conquer the world. Everyone remembers this song - it takes over your mind and takes you places.
it is not about heroin, been proven to not be the case in multiple interviews. he had not even tried heroin until 2 years after this song was released.. golden brown however is a very popular song that is secretly about heroin @@stevenaddison4167
@@banksiasong Great point. There was a cultural backlash to Thatcher's destruction of society and we need something similar to happen today. You do see snippets of it, but we're not there yet.
@@lennon1482 I have to say, i always thought this was an American band (Although i was 6 years old when it was first released) and its only been in recent years ive found out it was a Liverpool band...but now that i know it is obvious when i listen to it, 100% northern England. Also i didn't not know the lead singer of Cast was in this band too
The first time I heard this song was when Sixpence None the richer covered it. I loved that cover, but this is something magical. The song sung how it's supposed to be, not sanitised and standardised... the intended accent and emotion. Everything is perfect about this song, including the fact that it doesn't mess around. Says what it wants to say and ends before it gets boring and repetitive.
No, your sad already. Get the "pistols" on the hi-fi and crack out the special brew. If that doesn't make you punch the wife on the chin well I just guess you'll never be happy.
Great músic, the first time i heard was in a disco on 1998 with some friends, and the person i love was there. And remember those all times with That beautiful girl and beautiful músic, images and sensations we never forget, untiil dead.
.An old friend, Nigel Weston RIP, once told me he was working for a commercial property leasing firm on Merseyside in the late 80s - early 90s. One day his boss tells him to get the keys for a derelict factory building that was on their books, get his arse down there and let in a pop band and camera crew who are shooting a music video. As this was not the usual he asked who the band was, his boss looks at the paperwork and tells him "it's the L.A.'s, never heard of 'em, probably Americans from the name" Anyways the L.A.'s were the Las and he spent the day watching them make this. Always think of Nige when I hear this.
18/05/22, aqui de férias e assistindo Operação Cupido, filme da minha infância e começou a tocar essa música. Não sabia que fazia parte da trilha sonora, amo demais ❤️
If only Lee could overcome his perfectionism. He's could be up there with the songwriting GOATs. This one album is this good, it makes you feel sad to think what could have been.
heard this in the news agents in Paddington station yesterday. now im singing my heart out in my bedroom before heading out for the night. neighbours must think im mental. lol. Cracking song!

Or something like this series brought me here.... or people whose dead family member who died from some terrible disease loved this song....
the fact that this song is over 30 years old is unbelievable. Talk about a timeless tune

He even sounds like Mick Jagger
Throw some Peter Gabriel in the mix
Lol
Sounds nothing like either
this band deserves way more recognition, im glad they could still release some quality music!
My dad's band supported The La's! Love them!
2024💛
Over eight and a half thousand comments, and every single one full of love for this song.🤩
The year was 1998. I was only 6. I remember sitting in the backseat, of mum and dad's Renault Savannah, it was so warm that summer. It was a long drive down to Cornwall, from Bradford, but I remember it like it was yesterday. This song was on the radio. Memories.
Nobody does rock music like the Brits.

David Quinn Oasis?
@@davidquinn5256 not really?
yup and now remember England,Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland have all produced some great bands our lovely United Kingdom these blessed isles

Es una de las cinco canciones perfectas según la ciencia, los acordes mueven los estados de ánimo de la felicidad a la nostalgia. Es ciencia, pero parece magia.
Antes que salga esta lista ya era una musica que me llegaba mucho ahora entiendo porque al parecer no era yo el unico que sentia eso
Guaaauuuu
Tiene algo
Lo es también en mi top five de preferidas!😊
@@fernandovillalba1762 there's a place es otra
I love reading those comments where people share their childhood memories or any kind of memory with a particular song.
There is something distinctive about British Bands 🎉
This song is in like every 2000s movie❤️❤️
Naraj 85 yass!!!
This song was featured in Love Actually
Parent trap🥰
My best friend worked for a while with the drummer (He's a rope access worker these days). He said this song is his pension as he gets a nice royalties cheque through the door every month just from this one song.
@Cool Waters Can't see why he'd lie about it. It may not be an equal division though.
1990 I was 17 with lots of dreams in my drawer .... I heard this song on telly in Italy today and my heart raced!!!! So many great memories from Italy to England ..this song used to be played a lot In 1997 On The radio
What a great journey my life has been so far.. 47 now
Love you all godbless
Follow your dreams ..but mostly follow your instinct ..your heart and you’ll be fine
Trust me!!!
❤️
Thanks mate
Bless up brother x
I like that photograph in your profile pic. Old pics indeed always awsome. Is that you?
@@StJimmy-eq8zg james Dean ❤️
@@luislizard2626 Keep enjoying it Luis. Scouser music !!
Fresh today as the day it was released 👍🏻
I've been listening to this good song for a long time, does anyone else agree with me in 2024? /Llevo buen tiempo escuchando este buen tema, ¿alguien más coincide conmigo en este 2024?
These guys look and sound like every famous British band combined
That's because they are British
They are so stereotypically british, the lead singer looks like david bowie and hugh laurie combined
They were the founders of 90s britpop
@@MrGlk Exactly, they're the forerunners of some of the other bands mentioned here.
Yeah, the bassist looks exactly like the singer from Cast. Weird.
The only song in Gilmore Girls that doesn't have any " La La La" in it
Edit: Damn the band has it on their name.
Facts
But the band is called the la's
Best comment so far !!!
Good one I agree
@@ElportuxD You're right la.
I like Lee Mavers face expression into the camera at 0:15 …… it’s like ‘I’ve created one of the best songs of all time , I’m gonna enjoy this 3.5 minutes of bliss’ …. Lol
Literally, the song is just a Chorus, a beautiful chorus ans that's it... its amazing.
2 minutes and 50 seconds of pure joy.
Mario Škof 2minutes and 52 seconds to be precis
Mario Škof yeah the other two seconds were pretty depressing but besides that it was great
This song is up there with 'Love will tear us apart'. A song that other top bands wish they'd written and recorded. Doesn't matter that the band, in its various line ups, didn't conquer the world. Everyone remembers this song - it takes over your mind and takes you places.
Great comparison 👏
To be fair there are thousands of songs other artists wish they'd written and recorded.
Two top song
One of the most beautiful songs in history 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you guys for this 🙏🏻
The greatest tune ever Paul from huyton Liverpool
I love this song. I knew this music in The Parent Trap movie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ah that's were the bizarre song is aswell. makes sense lol
@@onesyphorus the song is about heroin
Same 😢
So I Married an Axe Murderer , de mike myers
it is not about heroin, been proven to not be the case in multiple interviews. he had not even tried heroin until 2 years after this song was released.. golden brown however is a very popular song that is secretly about heroin @@stevenaddison4167
This is England 90' is so good.
Nope. It's 80's
@@DeugalihVideo he meant the tv show mate
Thatcher destroyed Britain, but some great music came out of the psychological and social damage.
It was late 80's
@@banksiasong Great point. There was a cultural backlash to Thatcher's destruction of society and we need something similar to happen today. You do see snippets of it, but we're not there yet.
It’s impossible not to smile when listening to this.
If there was any band on earth who deserved more than one hit song, it’s the LA’s. The entire album is brilliant.
Which other ones are good?
@@gabrielmartinelli2549 clearly someone hasn’t listened to the album 🙄
This music can only come from the UK
Really? I'd agree on Beatles, Kinks, Smiths and many more, but this has a very 60s West Coast feel to me (Byrds) - the music, mind you, not the looks!
@@thenavajoknow nah mate this sounds scouse
@@lennon1482 I have to say, i always thought this was an American band (Although i was 6 years old when it was first released) and its only been in recent years ive found out it was a Liverpool band...but now that i know it is obvious when i listen to it, 100% northern England.
Also i didn't not know the lead singer of Cast was in this band too
The good Music always come from UK
@@lennon1482 Made my fucking day ;-)
Simply the most world class tune the indie scene has ever produced.
is it indie ? sounds more like an early formation of Brit Pop
大好き。この曲がというよりこの曲のメロディには自分の憧憬ｇ詰まっている。
A great song from one the greatest debut albums of all time
The first time I heard this song was when Sixpence None the richer covered it. I loved that cover, but this is something magical. The song sung how it's supposed to be, not sanitised and standardised... the intended accent and emotion. Everything is perfect about this song, including the fact that it doesn't mess around. Says what it wants to say and ends before it gets boring and repetitive.
What a beautiful song even now !! It's a real timeless melody...
Greatest song the 60’s never wrote!
Feels like it could have been a single from the Byrds
This song brings back good memories ❤
one of the best songs of all time
heart rendering, somehow joyful and melancholic as well. It fits to a wedding and to a funeral. This song comforts you, simply great.
Brilliant song..2024👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️🙏
I remember listening to this on vinyl in the early 90s. There was never not a good time to put it on. It still feels like a breath of fresh air today.
Hi👍
Wow, I don't really know how this song makes me feel, happy, nostalgic, sad??
Daniel Buggie same. I can’t figure it out either
I think that's the beauty of this song, it makes you feel so many things - nostalgia, sadness, loss, happiness, good memories, excitement
Same here dude, !!
No, your sad already. Get the "pistols" on the hi-fi and crack out the special brew. If that doesn't make you punch the wife on the chin well I just guess you'll never be happy.
it’s probably because this songs about the sad and happy parts of using heroin that what the songs about btw
this song mixes happiness with melancholia so perfectly, one of my faves ever, so simple but so good
Best pop song of all time!
Kiss Me by Sixpence Noen The Richer wins that title. They also did a cover of this song.
I think it doesn’t have the depth to compete, only my opinion.@@ivanjulian2532
I love this song
GOD I LOVE THIS SONG! Even in my darkest moments, it reaches me. Everything about it is flawed perfection. Thank you, La's.
This song would have been a hit in ANY decade.
Quelle époque ! .. ✨🎸
Les années passent .. mais les chefs d'oeuvres ne vieillissent pas ! . 🎸
Everyone: Gilmore Girls
Me: The Parent Trap
Ahhhh I See You're A Man Of Culture
Me an intellectual: This is England '90
This comment here makes me want to vomit
Same the parent trap when Annie (actually Hallie) went to her mom for the first time when she was riding the car to go to her mom's home in England.
Matthew Thegreatest wow I really care
Best vines Brought me here ...
Great músic, the first time i heard was in a disco on 1998 with some friends, and the person i love was there.
And remember those all times with That beautiful girl and beautiful músic, images and sensations we never forget, untiil dead.
Hey you should look up a band called The Doublejumps if you like The La's
@@chrispolo840 thanks i Will see .
This song will be legend forever 🤞🏼
such a short yet simple and beautiful song
.An old friend, Nigel Weston RIP, once told me he was working for a commercial property leasing firm on Merseyside in the late 80s - early 90s. One day his boss tells him to get the keys for a derelict factory building that was on their books, get his arse down there and let in a pop band and camera crew who are shooting a music video. As this was not the usual he asked who the band was, his boss looks at the paperwork and tells him "it's the L.A.'s, never heard of 'em, probably Americans from the name" Anyways the L.A.'s were the Las and he spent the day watching them make this. Always think of Nige when I hear this.
18/05/22, aqui de férias e assistindo Operação Cupido, filme da minha infância e começou a tocar essa música. Não sabia que fazia parte da trilha sonora, amo demais ❤️
Just another bit of sheer perfection from out of Liverpool. 👌
Hey you should look up a band called The Doublejumps if you like The La's
must be the earliest "Britpop" sound. ten years before its time.
This song kick-started it, paved the way for Suede, Pulp, Blur and ultimately Oasis
Masterpiece
The best jangle pop song
Forever classic
Best song in the history of song making - guitar riff is legendary
2021, who’s still listening?
Me, in 2021.Kind regards from Russia!
Me .........from Guernsey Channel Islands 😊😊
Needy!!
Listening is all we can do!

If only Lee could overcome his perfectionism. He's could be up there with the songwriting GOATs. This one album is this good, it makes you feel sad to think what could have been.
heard this in the news agents in Paddington station yesterday. now im singing my heart out in my bedroom before heading out for the night. neighbours must think im mental. lol.
Cracking song!
